Premature rupture of membranes (PROM) is one of the major causes of high neonatal mortality and morbidity. Very preterm PROM, fetal pulmonary hypoplasia, and fetal inflammatory response syndrome are associated with the loss of amniotic fluid and the development of oligo/anhydramnios.
Objective. To extend the duration of pregnancy prolongation without increasing the infection risk with continuous amnioinfusion via a subcutaneous port system.
Materials and methods. A patient with PROM at 25 weeks’ gestation had continuous amnioinfusion (100 ml/h, 2400 ml/day, SDP (4±2 cm)) via a subcutaneous port, by using a hypotonic solution by the properties similar to those of amniotic fluid.
Conclusion. The first experience with continuous amnioinfusion allowed us to increase the interval of pregnancy prolongation up to 10 days in PROM. This new method can certainly be used in pregnant women with PROM and oligo/anhydramnios at term < 28/0 weeks of gestation.
